Hours of Operation
Mondays through Fridays
6:30am until 6:00pm
Our teachers and staff are committed to
helping children grow, develop and to realize their full potential. Our goal is to provide programs and activities
that will enable each child to develop at his or her own pace, according to
his or her own special interest, learning style, and personality.
The quality of the staff is an important
determinant in the quality of the program.
Saint Vincent
Ferrer Church
Child Care
Center strives to
maintain a high quality staff by providing a variety of in-services and
other professional opportunities. At
a minimum, state qualifications are met.
All staff members working with children
are required to submit to a state police check and have a physician’s
health form on file. Fully qualified
teachers meet or exceed state licensing requirements in education and
experience. Our staff is trained
regularly in CPR and First Aid.
Philosophy
The Saint Vincent Child
Care Center
is unique in its approach to providing quality care for all children
between the ages of 3 and 10. The
center’s philosophy flows from three basic beliefs which govern its
programming.
1)
Children should be allowed to be children.
We expect a three-year old to be three, and a four year old to be
four, without the pressure to prepare for the next age or developmental
stage.
2)
Children learn best from each other, and they need to explore safely and
experiment with their environment.
3) Each
child brings to the program his or her unique cultural background.
We strive
to incorporate these characteristics into the child’s daily program.
The school year
program is in operation from September through June, Monday through Friday,
from 6:30am to 6:00pm. During the
summer program (July and August), the Center is open from 6:30am to 6:00pm,
Monday through Friday.
Program Services for
Children
ages 3 through 10
Preschool: A part-time morning program is available for
three, four, or five mornings a week, between the hours of 9:00am and
1:00pm. The full-time preschool
program is available five days a week throughout the school year.
Extended Day
Kindergarten / School Age: A before and after program is offered
during the school year for children attending the local public and
parochial schools. Parents must
provide transportation to the Center each morning and home in the
evenings. To meet the needs of
working parents, this program will remain opened a full day on holidays and
during school vacations on a sign-up basis.

Center, please call us and come visit.
You are most welcome!
